I tried to flash the "NodeMcu Amica V3 ESP-12E ESP12E 4MB FLASH Lua WIFI Networking dev board ESP8266" from ebay with the esphttpd webserver using the esptool.py. On windows it works perfekt, but I want to compile and flash it under linux and with the same params it fails each time with:
Connecting...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./esptool.py", line 532, in <module>
esp.connect()
File "./esptool.py", line 159, in connect
raise Exception('Failed to connect')
Exception: Failed to connect
I used Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-65-generic i686 with the latest CP210x driver source.
What are the differences on driver for win and linux?
Any other tools for linux to flash the binaries?
Best Regards
Mr.Tom
